What’s wrong with you, Guthrie? The Dems did that years ago.

I would say she’s a little slow but that’s kind of redundant with being a “newsie”.

Oh please oh please drop all pretext of being civil dems, I kinda want to see Trump to break Reagan’s 1984 record and the resulting liberal head explosions on election night 2020 should be visible from the ISS.

I continue to believe that the mid-terms will go badly for the Democrats.
They will then abandon the political process (”It’s not working”)
Then they will take a page from von Clausewitz and “pursue politics by other means”.

They really have no other options.

But this will (again) play into the hands of Trump who is (I believe) getting ready to use military courts of justice to pursue people for sedition and treason. That sort of action will outrage the media. But if the country is rocked by violent mobs in the cities who clearly want to overthrow the government ... military courts of justice start to make a lot of sense. Have a nice day, Hillary, you’re probably first in line.

Yes, that was going to be my response also.

Can’t abandon a position you haven’t held for over half a century.

After the 1968 elections, the Democrat Party went off the deep end. They’ve sunk lower and lower since.

I don’t understand the question.

Dims, progressives, liberals, Marxist are inherently uncivil. Violence is their MO.

The only question that should be asked now is when do we start shooting them?

I agree. The problem, though, is that once it gets to that level it is bad for all of us. OTOH, I’ve said for years that there is no human solution to our dilemma and the only real solution will be to hope the phoenix is better than what became the ashes it rose out of. i.e. it will burn down, one way or another. The only question is, is it just another sucky event like WWII, or is it the apocalypse?

To get to a point where our leaders are willing to do what is necessary to fix it, it has to get really, REALLY bad. And if they refuse to step up to the plate, it means it will get even worse than that.

Right out of the Alinsky playbook - Accuse your enemy of exactly what you are doing to diffuse and deflect the enemies case and arguments against you.

Democrats also want to inflame and anger in their base to incite violence and protests and to motivate them to go to the polls and vote in November but they overplayed their hand using these tactics during the Kavanaugh hearings and voters are angry

This new campaign is an attempt to fake civility while simultaneously inciting voters to action using hate and anger to motiveate

Very clever.

It's ironic that Obama holds a civility rally in Tucson after Gabby Giffords was shot, but wants to abandon civility after Steve Scalise is shot, Rand Paul is beat up, and Sarah Sanders, Kirstjen Nielsen, and Ted Cruz are run out of restaurants.

The last time I watched Guthrie she was interviewing Carrie Fisher, and Fisher was relating that she and Harrison Ford had an affair while making Star Wars. Guthrie exclaimed, “That’s so wonderful” or something to that effect. Carrie was trying to say that it made her uncomfortable since Ford was married and she said “I wasn’t raised that way.”

I wonder what Guthrie’s husband thought about his wife saying that.
